6. The reason for African immigration into America was simple... they had to.


African contributions to America were in early times not recognized. The discrimination against African-Americans prevented such credit to be given. Neverless, there were contributions deserving to be noticed. African-Americans have brought their music, culture, we have gotten animals from Africa, and there are many more donations that have been made. There are even lessons that we may not know we have learned, such as how to get along, and that everybody is equal. But, is that to whom we give credit for those lessons to? Maybe, maybe not. It is a question with many answers depending on who you are, how you believe, and which side you base your perspective.

Encephalitis Paper

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/encephalitis.html
Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. The usual cause is a viral infection, but bacteria can also cause it. Cases can range from mild to severe. For mild cases, you could have flu-like symptoms. Serious cases can cause

• Severe headache
• Sudden fever
• Drowsiness
• Vomiting
• Confusion
• Seizures

For mild cases, you may just need rest, plenty of fluids and a pain reliever. For severe cases, you might need to be hospitalized. Fortunately, encephalitis is uncommon in the United States.

Encephalitis literally means an inflammation of the brain, but it usually refers to brain inflammation caused by a virus. It's a rare disease that only occurs in approximately 0.5 per 100,000 individuals - most commonly in children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems (i.e., those with HIV/AIDS or cancer). Although several thousand cases of encephalitis (also called acute viral encephalitis or aseptic encephalitis) are reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) every year, experts suspect that many more may go unreported because the symptoms are so mild.
Symptoms in milder cases of encephalitis usually include:

• fever
• headache
• poor appetite
• loss of energy
• just a general sick feeling

In more severe cases of encephalitis, a person is more likely to experience high fever and any of a number of symptoms that relate to the central nervous system including:

• severe headache
• nausea and vomiting
• stiff neck
• confusion
• disorientation
• personality changes
• convulsions (seizures)
• problems with speech or hearing
• hallucinations
• memory loss
• drowsiness
• coma

It's harder to detect some of these symptoms in infants, but there are still some important signs to look for including:

• vomiting
• a full or bulging soft spot (fontanel)
• crying that doesn't stop or that seems worse when an infant is picked up or handled in some way
• body stiffness

Because encephalitis can follow or accompany common viral illnesses, there are sometimes characteristic signs and symptoms of these illnesses beforehand. But often, the encephalitis appears without warning.

Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain, commonly caused by a viral infection. It can be caused by a bacterial infection such as bacterial meningitis, or may be a complication of other infectious diseases like rabies (viral) or syphilis (bacterial). Certain parasitic or protozoal infestations, such as toxoplasmosis, malaria, or primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, can also cause encephalitis in people with compromised immune systems. Brain damage occurs as the inflamed brain pushes against the skull, and can lead to death.
